This week's Pay It Forward Friday features an account that strives to raise awareness of Alzheimer's and how the creative arts help to improve quality of life for those with the disease: @IRememberBetter
They've been nominated for a Shorty Award 2013 in the Charity category and we think once you learn a bit about them, you'll click here to help them win.
Did you know that Alzheimer's is among the top 10 causes of death — and the only one without a prevention, cure or medical treatment? Also, Berna Huebner the Founder and Director of Hilgos Foundation, tells us the number of Alzheimer's cases is growing to epidemic proportions worldwide.
Hueber founded The Hilgos Foundation in 1999 to support and encourage the ongoing process of artistic creation for people who have different forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer's.
Why did she start this foundation? The Atlantic shares why in its Creative Aging: The Emergence of Artistic Talents post:
The story of art and dementia is told in the documentary I Remember Better When I Paint , narrated by Olivia de Havilland. It shows how the creative arts can change the quality of life for people with Alzheimer's disease. The co-director of the film, Berna Huebner, visited her mother in a nursing home in Chicago and asked her, "Wouldn't you like to paint again?" Her mother, a once highly successful painter responded, "Yes, I remember better when I paint."
Berna enlisted art students to work with her mother, and after many months she emerged from a state of apathy and once again began to paint. The use of art opened a "dialogue" of communication that had been closed for years. In memory of her mother Hilda (Hilgos) Gorenstein, Berna founded the Hilgos Foundation, which provides grants to art students who work with Alzheimer's patients.
Does it work?
As ScienceBlogs points out, "Whatever your creative outlets are — music, painting, photography, drawing, or even writing, to name a few . . . [t]here's nothing like engaging your imagination and creativity."
But see for yourself:
So check them out, vote for them here and help spread the word, so those suffering (and their families) can discover a different perception and understanding of Alzheimer's – which in turn helps to reduce the stigmatization of this disease.

imo im not very keen on the new fbts, mostly because of i really prefer their elk leather, its just that good and comfy.
the fbt elks were the best, nice details with beads too, didnt manage to cop them. the nez perce was hot too.
this season i opted for the navy gabo instead, very soft elk leather, very comfortable fit, cute little flap at the back makes for conversation pieces. if there were a red fbt in elk i would cop it without batting an eyelid though.
the logan lattices i saw in fil tokyo were good. pretty and helpful salesgirl too! &)
size 12 ancestors for you traCk. no affiliation to the seller
^damn man, id be coppin if those were size 12. good shit
i know the ancestors run larger than most fbt's or at least ive been told so by numerous people. if i decided to cop them and take out the insole (assuming they have one) would a potential squeeze be possible? im rocking my logans now with no insole (size 12) and they fit beyond comfortably. honest answers and opinions please
edit: just noticed you must have sold yours, but still could use help with my question haha
botfc I dont see the brown ancestors or black logan mids in your listing. Are they still available?
anyone here purchased anything from concept shop online before?
i just received my visvim backpack from them today. However, the lower part of the back was ripped off...
the left shoulder part seems going to ripped off very soon...damn...how could the sent thing like tat to customer...
love the shoes
Anyone know anything about sizing/ where to cop the fbt folk lhamo? i usually wear a size 8/8.5

Gagan Narang's bronze medal-winning feat at the London Games has set a new milestone for the 32 trainees at his academy, Gun for Glory, and they would now look to better it in future, said the academy's founder-director Pawan Singh.
It was celebration time for the academy situated at the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports complex in Balewadi as the trainees distributed sweets and danced to drumbeats after their role model clinched the bronze.
The 35-year-old Pawan said the bronze completed the collection as an Olympic medal was the only thing missing from Narang's cabinet.
"He had won the world championships, World Cup, Asian Games, Asian championship and Commonwealth Games but the Olympic medal was missing. It completes the list," said an elated Pawan.
"For the trainees who look up to Narang, it will be a milestone which they would look to challenge and better in future. It's a huge motivation for them," he added.
The Gun for Glory shooting academy was set up by Narang and Pawan in May, 2011, and the shooters from the academy have so far won 67 international medals.
Out of the 11 shooters in London, four are from the Gun for Glory academy, including Annu Raj Singh, Rahi Sarnobat and Heena Sidhu apart from Narang himself.
"We are very happy with this bronze though we were expecting a gold for Gagan," Pawan said. "We feel that Sarnobat and Annu Raj would also put up a great show."
With Narang competing in two more events — 50m prone and 50m 3-position — Pawan expected the marksman to win at least one more medal.
"50m prone is very unpredictable. Anything can happen. But, we are very hopeful in 3-position where he has worked very hard on his positioning (kneeling).
"He has done well in 3P in the past. We want him to win at least one more medal," he said.
He also admitted that he expected Gagan to bring laurels to the country after a disappointing result in Beijing four years ago where he failed to qualify for the final. — PTI

Screen Doesn't work
Here's my problem, I have a 1st gen Iphone that I cannot unlock. When the slide to unlock thing pops up I touch it but cannot slide it. The only way that I can get to the main screen is by restarting the phone every time i want to use it but then I have to wait for it to load. It is only the bottom portion of the screen that does not work so no phone, mail, safari, or ipod. I have restored the phone and I still cannot unlock it any suggestions on how to fix this???

Looks like you cant "hard reset" your phone as bottom half of screen is not working.
Have you tried restoring in "DFU" mode?, I would give it a go. |

Screen and Volume buttons non responsive
Okay so heres the problem:
iPhone 2g 8GB, in immaculate condition and for some reason, the complete touch screen is non responsive and so are the volume buttons. The home, sleep/wake and silent switch all work. Vibration and sound all work. When sim is put in it has reception and calls are coming through but cant answer because the screen is non responsive. I have tried the hard reset (i.e. Home and sleep buttons for tens seconds) several times and it doesn't rectify the problem. Also plugged into itunes and have restored several times and also doesn't make any difference. Took is to apple Genius and they offered two outrageous solutions: 1) Replace for £139 2) Repair for £125 returned in 3 Days The iPhone is out of warranty. Does anyone else have any solutions. As I said the phone is immaculate but the Touch Screen and Volume buttons are non responsive. |

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm out of warranty also, and I don't want to get a 3G with new iPhone coming out this summer.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Everything works fine except the bottom row touch sensors. |

If some of the touch screen is unresponsive, then unfortunately it is more than likely a broken digitiser, which requires replacement of the lcd/digitiser/front screen assembly (all one integrated unit in the case of the iPhone 2G).
If the entire digitizer touch sensor is not responding, then possibly you'll be lucky and have a connector that has popped off. Honestly it is unlikely given the design of the connector, which clicks in and is sandwiched between the board and the chassis, but it is definitely possible.

"An Amazing Tale"
I am really happy audible released this book and hope they release all the sequels I think there are 6. This book is an amazing piece of literature. It brings the revolutionary war to life from an unorthodox point of view. A wealth of great historical events and characters is included and this is really a phenomenal book by a well seasoned author.
"Sean Drummond returns."
I have read all the previous works in this series and this book is definitely on par with them. I was however not that impressed with the reader. He did a passable job but someone who better understands sarcasm would have been nice. The story starts out a bit lackluster but it builds nicely and by the end we have a downright great story. There are enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing as to whats really going on and by the end I was genuinely surprised at who the killer really was.
"Awesome religious thriller"
I have been a fan of Ian Caldwell since The Rule of Four. This book has more depth and feeling and like his previous work is meticulously researched. Its a murder mystery and a religious thriller set in the Vatican during 2004. The author does a phenomenal job building his characters and his environment. Jack Davenport also does a great job reading in several different accents. When I finished listening all I could think of is WOW that's why it took this author a decade to produce a second novel. I really can't say enough good things about this book I just hope I do not have to wait another decade for another.
"Definitly on par with her previous works"
Mary Higgins Clark delivers a great book. I am thrilled she is picking up where her last novel left off (I've Got You Under My Skin). Although this can be read as a stand alone I'd recommend reading the previous novel first. This novel is filled with the same great style of suspense and a great cast of characters. Its a who dun it that will keep you guessing until the end. Jan Maxwell does a fair performance Its not superb but its not bad either and I definitely prefer her to Barbara Rosenblat who also narrates several of the Mary Higgins Clark novels.
"not typical"
I have read everything Michael Connelly has ever published and so far this is probably my least favorite book. It lacks the suspense and resolution of his typical novels. To say I was disappointed with this most recent release would be a huge understatement. I also did not care for the narrator I found his voice tolerable but dull.
"more like a pilot script than a standalone novel"
I have read a lot of Grisham's writing and generally find them to be fun suspenseful legal thrillers. This book is so far from his normal I was constantly waiting for it to pick up the pace. There is no resolution to the central conflict in this story and neither is there a really good mystery. And of the few mysteries that are in this novel the intriguing ones aren't solved. I cant remeber the last time I was this disappointed in a Novel. I have no real issue with the narrator I feel like she could only do so much with the book she was probably held at gunpoint and told to read for 14 hours.
"What will do for their children"
I have recently discovered this author and I am trying to start with some of his older books. I really loved the way this story flowed. The overwhelming theme is that parents will go to extreme means to protect their children
"Classic Hardy"
I have read or listened to every one of the Dismas Hardy novels, along with most of John Lescroarts other books. In the past several novels there has been an absence of real substance. This book is written with the same zeal and character driven plot that his older books were and in that it excels. Its full of interesting little ethical questions and conundrums, along with a great story. You wont be disappointed with this book. Just like all of the other Hardy novels this one will twist and turn and throw you off your seat every time you think you've got something figured out.
"An homage to Agatha Christie"
This book is a bit different from previous MHC novels but different isn't necessarily bad. I felt like this was an interesting twist on classic who dunnits. The book itself reminded me a lot of the Agatha Christie novel Taken at the Flood. Fans of either writer should give this book a shot. I liked it a lot and found myself trying to find a similar book to read after I had finished this one.
"Oceans Eleven meets Star Wars"
This is a fun easy listen from the creator of the Thrawn Trilogy. The Narrator does a phenomenal job jumping between voices. I thought the plot got a bit outlandish at times but this is Star Wars after all so you have to be expecting things to be a bit out there. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the movies.

[UPDATE] Warner Bros. has confirmed that Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate will be released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U. Original developer Armature Studio will be handling the console and PC port, which will be released digitally on April 2 for £15.99 (about $19.99).
The original story is below.
Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate, last year's 3DS and Vita spin-off of Batman: Arkham Origins, could be getting a release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
A page on the Xbox Games Store shows the game lists the game for release on March 25, which was spotted overnight by internet sleuth Lifelower. If the game is coming to Xbox 360, then presumably we can expect the game to also come out on PlayStation 3.
"Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition amplifies the 2.5-D game with new maps, enemy encounters, difficulty levels, batsuits, and enhanced visuals," reads the product description.
"A companion game to Batman: Arkham Origins, players can continue the storyline of the console version and discover more details of the Dark Knight's past. Featuring stealth gameplay, free-flow combat, and Batman's famed arsenal of gadgets, the genuine Arkham experience is reproduced in a deep, action packed side-scrolling adventure."
Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate was developed by Armature Studios, which was founded by a trio ex-Retro Studios developers in 2008. The studio has also handled the Vita versions of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and Injustice: Gods Among Us.
"The first few hours of Blackgate provide an exciting glimpse of what might have been a great game, but it slowly falls apart, hour by hour, villain by villain," wrote Peter Brown in GameSpot's review of the original Vita version of Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate.

dc.description.abstract | <bold>Background:</bold> Bariatric surgery is associated with risks for micronutrient deficiencies. For example, hypovitaminosis D (25(OH)D ≤30ng/mL) has been reported in obese individuals and patients who received Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Investigations on incidence of hypovitaminosis D in patients undergoing bariatric surgery in the Pacific Northwest are limited. The primary aim of this study was to identify the incidence of hypovitaminosis D in patients prior to RYGB. The relationship between 25(OH)D status and patient characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, BMI, comorbidities) was analyzed. The secondary aim was to analyze longitudinal change in 25(OH)D concentration 1 year post-operatively. <bold>Methods:</bold> A cohort study involving adult patients undergoing RYGB was conducted. Longitudinal change in serum vitamin D concentrations and clinical parameters were collected. <bold>Results:</bold> Baseline data were analyzed in 134 patients. Hypovitaminosis D was identified in 90 patients (incidence of 67%), and was significantly affected by seasonal change and the number of comorbidities. Longitudinal data were available in 60 patients. Vitamin D sufficiency was achieved in 62.5% of those patients with baseline vitamin D insufficiency. A dose-response relationship of vitamin D intake was observed, with the most significant increase in 25(OH)D associated with daily vitamin D intakes ≥2000IU. <bold>Conclusions:</bold> A significant number of patients have hypovitaminosis D at baseline. Daily vitamin D intake meeting at least 2000IU is associated with greater improvement in serum vitamin D concentration. | en_US |

Big Labor's Little Problem
The second way union members experience the workings of their international unions is the response they get when they try to make changes beyond the level of the local. It is here that, too often, they run into the "autocrat" with a staff paid to contain dissent through co-optation or threats. A single example: At the United Auto Workers convention in 1992, a reform caucus called New Directions put up a presidential candidate, Jerry Tucker. It was clear that Tucker would receive only a tiny percentage of the delegates' votes (5, as it turned out), yet president Owen Bieber found the challenge so insulting that he instructed international representatives to work the floor to intimidate voters. One delegate from a GM parts plant in Wisconsin was surrounded by these staffers. She had intended to vote for Tucker, but the reps warned that GM might decide to close her plant. Could she live with ruining her members' lives? You may scoff, correctly, at the notion that GM would base its investment decisions on the symbolic action of one union delegate far off in San Diego. But the reps--some of them former militants themselves, now placated with staff jobs--earned big brownie points with their "boss" for delivering the vote.
This determination to hold on to power by any means necessary--the 1969 murder of Mine Workers reformer Jock Yablonski is the extreme case--has been a central fact of the union bureaucracy since Gompers's day. Buhle touches on democracy when he mentions Kirkland's attempts to keep city-level AFL-CIOs in line on El Salvador and Nicaragua--no solidarity with the "wrong" unions in Central America was allowed. But to discuss the barriers to democracy within the unions themselves is outside his task. The book's jacket claim to be "the first comprehensive history of American labor leadership" is thus overreaching.
Buhle does accomplish the more limited job he sets himself with a wealth of detail and a clear politics. His argument is that AFL and AFL-CIO leaders cast their fate with those whom they perceived to be society's winners--the bosses. They sacrificed members' larger interests to the hope for "a share of the promised imperial benefits and to the shared psychological satisfactions of personal superiority...over all the lowly, whether 'foreign,' female, or non-white." In doing so, labor leaders measured themselves by the business class they opposed but also admired.
That the AFL's racist, exclusionary policies weakened the labor movement immeasurably is not a novel point. But Buhle rolls out the effects, decade by decade, of Gompers's early strategic choice between an all-inclusive movement and an effort to preserve skilled jobs for those who already had them. Gompers co-wrote a 1906 pamphlet that posed the choice as he saw it: Meat vs Rice: American Manhood Against Asiatic Coolies, Which Shall Survive? Skill per se was often only a blind; Gompers notes in his autobiography that immigrant Chinese had already become skilled cigar-makers--which was precisely why they must be barred from the trade (and the country), preserving "white men's work done under white men's standards." Gompers's stand prefigured George Meany's seven decades later, when he told a reporter that the AFL-CIO wasn't necessarily interested in a larger membership. "I stopped worrying because...the organized fellow is the fellow that counts," he said. Meany was likewise clear on affirmative action; the best jobs belonged to his brothers by right: It was "nuts...to say that we've got to sacrifice our kids and our rights to take care of people who merely say that we've got to be employed because our skin is black."
When the Wagner Act went to Congress, the AFL argued, successfully, against a clause forbidding unions to discriminate. Labor should rule its own house, it contended, rather than be subject to government regulation. But when the AFL and CIO merged in 1955, the new federation adopted no enforceable antidiscrimination mechanism. This time, Meany argued autonomy: that the federation could not force a union to clean up its internal problems. He claimed with a straight face that "there are very, very few small and minute spots [of discrimination] that have to be cleaned up." Buhle notes that the autonomy principle was conveniently set aside when the CIO and the AFL-CIO expelled unions for communist and mob influence, respectively. Those who protested the federation's tolerance of racism were dealt with harshly. Meany himself moved to censure A. Philip Randolph for denouncing union segregation.
Buhle notes that even labor leaders who put on a better public face about race than Meany were shy of change within their own industries and unions. Walter Reuther is the prime example: He marched with Martin Luther King Jr. but squelched more than one movement of black auto workers. Buhle writes, "Actual black unionists, who demanded better jobs and higher union offices, proved less attractive to Meany and Reuther alike than did distant causes involving dignified black ministers and other prominent leaders."
When Lane Kirkland died in August, the New York Times obit noted his close friendship with Henry Kissinger. That nearly says it all. The involvement of the AFL-CIO with the CIA has long been known ("AFL-CIA" is its opponents' epithet of choice). Buhle details the Marshall Plan's $800 million spent by AFL operatives on attempts to wreck Communist-led unions in Europe and set up pro-US unions there. Their best successes were in Greece and Germany, where they heavily funded a break in the German federation. But in general, despite the top priority placed on such efforts by the Meany and Kirkland administrations, from Central America to Asia to Eastern Europe the federation's spymasters have failed in their attempts to set up lasting unions that follow the US pro-corporate line--that is, to spread unionism in their own image around the globe. This is, Buhle contends, partly because making the world safe for American investment was the AFL-CIO's real goal, with the health of US-friendly unions an afterthought. Even the CIA's own labor creations were valued only when they were needed to support a regime against left-wing opponents.

Nevada cross country now sets sights on Mountain West Championships |
Oct. 21, 2013
Terre Haute, Ind. -
The University of Nevada cross country team finished 25th racing against some of their toughest competition of the year at the Indiana Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute, Ind.
Nevada competed well in its first 6,000-meter race of the season running in what was also the largest race they have been a part of this season with over 225 student-athletes in the race. The Pack ran its second race in a row shorthanded, without one of its top two runners, as junior Demerey Kirsch and without sophomore Erika Root. Senior Samantha Diaz returned to action in solid race form finishing in 32nd place with a time of 21:52.77. Sophomore Emily Myers followed closely behind finishing in 60th place with a time of 22:12.11. Junior Caitlin Devitt-Payne was the third finisher for the Pack with a time of 23:22.03, and freshman Cheyenne Hunter ran well in her first collegiate 6,000-meter race finishing with a time of 23:29.00. Sophomore Laura Palacios continued to show improvements as she finished in 23:57.84.
Head coach Kirk Elias was unable to put a full team out on the course, but he knows his team has a lot of potential, "We have not been the team we really are all year, but we will have a chance to show how good we can be." He did find some bright spots in his team's performance from the weekend, "Sam had a very solid performance in her first run back, and Emily also had a strong race." Coach Elias has been encouraged with the team's development, "Cheyenne showed significant improvement, and took a big step in the right direction."

Nicolaides, Phedon (2003) Preparing for EU Membership: The Paradox of Doing What the EU Does Not Require You to Do. EIPASCOPE, 2003 (2). pp. 1-7.
| PDF Download (39Kb) | Preview |
[Summary]. As acceding countries are progressing with their formal preparations to comply with the requirements of EU membership, they should also consider whether they have the capacity to play an active role within the EU and derive all the benefits of EU membership. The purpose of this paper is to outline how acceding countries can become effective members of the EU. It identifies certain tasks which are not formally mandated by the EU and for which the EU provides no guidance. The application of EU directives and regulations depends on the existence of extensive institutional and administrative capacity. To build that capacity, they need to do much more than merely adopt EU law. Paradoxically, they have to do things that the EU does not ask them to do. Their ability to derive the maximum benefits from EU membership will very much depend on their success or failure in influencing nascent EU rules, in complying with them and in re-engineering their economies so as to "exploit" as much as possible EU policies and programmes.

Title: | A measure of sacrifice |
Author: | Bowles, Margaret Elizabeth |
Abstract: | When people give to a good cause they usually give and forget about it, however that is not always the case. For one family from Texas giving was much more. They chose to sacrifice all that they knew to help those in need. They left behind all they knew and moved to Xai-Xai Mozambique Africa. In one short year they have set up a church, two care points that feed over 500 kids each day, a community center and a pre-school. Teaching the people of Xai-Xai to be resourceful, help each other, and helping them rebuild after years of civil war and a flood that nearly wiped out the entire city. Becoming a part of community and sharing the love of God with those who may have never even heard the name of Jesus. Putting into practice, exactly what is says in the Bible, to be the hands and feet of Jesus and not just setting up camp within the church building. This is a story of the Stauber family. |

Manufacturer: Golden Triangle
Splish! Splash! I was using my Pulsabath on a lonely Saturday night. Since my plans for the evening had fallen through, I figured I'd turn to Pulsabath for some comfort. After drawing a hot tub, I soaped up the big yellow sponge and began to go to town, cleaning and massaging myself all at once. Humming merrily along, the Pulsabath relaxed my muscles with its steady vibrations. The real fun began when I squeezed Pulsabath between my legs and let my pussy feel the effects of the humming soapster.
There were some minor disappointments: Pulsabath only has one speed; and the sound it made was loud enough to assure my neighbors I was home. In the end, I got clean and aroused at the same time. If only my boyfriend had been home to reap the rewards of the Pulsabath!

Red Light Center
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (September 2011) |
Red Light Center | |
Developer(s) | Utherverse Digital Inc. |
Platform(s) | |
Distribution | Download |
Red Light Center (RLC) is a privately owned Massively Multi-User Reality (sm) site that was made available to the public early in 2006 by Utherverse Inc.. Its tag line is "EXPAND Your Fantasy". Red Light Center is modeled after Amsterdam's Red Light District. The online community site offers users virtual nightclubs, hotels, bars, movie theaters and stores. There is a virtual currency called Rays, which members can earn and use for services in the community, Zaby apartments, Gifts for other members, and various other purposes. Rays can also be sold on an open Marketplace for real currency.
The last press release noting RLC membership, in March 2008, estimated the registered userbase at over 1.5 million.[1]
A player can own their own Zaby apartment within the 3D World. It is possible to install televisions with streaming video, or a jukebox with music. One can color the walls, and place furniture. The Zaby apartments vary in size from a small one-bedroom apartment to a large country house.
There are other worlds attached to Red Light Center, the largest of which being Virtual Vancouver, modeled on the city of Vancouver, which includes notable landmarks and buildings. Virtual Vancouver hosts Art Gallery shows, streaming concerts, book festivals, and other cultural events.
Red Light Center offers Community Events, such as parties, classes, meeting rooms, live music with dancing and art-gallery openings. Users also have the ability to put on their own events. In many locations, one can smoke hookahs of ganja and eat magic mushrooms, which can have their effects shaken off at the user's choice.
As an adult playground, RLC features a sex function for VIP members. The users are represented by avatars, which may be customized personally to suit a user's tastes, and may be used to have virtual sex with another. Certain areas of RLC provide a bed for the users and cater to various popular fantasies. Users have access to underwater caves, locker rooms, a hotel, and bordello rooms, all of which are private spots. There are several themed and equipped rooms available for BDSM play. The avatars are all anatomically correct and the sexual activity is detailed and animated. Users choose a position or action from a menu and then watch it happen with their avatar partner. Since both partners have the same menu to choose from, the result is a visual cybersex.
Within the RLC metaverse, there are several roles and functions which are provided solely by currently active members of the RLC community.
Working Girls/Guys are members that are allowed to sell sexual services for in-game currency.[2]
Guides have the role of helping new members learn their way around, giving tours, answering questions, and helping with minor disputes.
Greeters take over where the guides leave off. The job of greeters is to make new members feel welcome and to ensure that everyone has a good time. Greeters help the members have a good time and party. They introduce new members to other members so they will get to know people sooner. Greeters are a staff position. Ambassadors are the volunteer counterparts.
The next role is Leader, which is a promotion for those guides who have shown themselves to be seriously dedicated to helping the community. They now have the added responsibility of helping the guides, trying to settle disputes, and assisting the protectors in any way they can.
A Protector is the highest role that most members can reach. This is someone who has proven themselves to be very dedicated to the community; they are essentially moderators. Protectors are entrusted with helping the guides, leaders, and all the other members. Protectors step into situations that the leaders or others can't get under control. Protectors try to reason with members, and if after an ample amount of time and warnings, booting a member if needed.
Community Supervisor is in charge of helping, training, and moderating the guides, recommending promotions, as well as assisting the leaders. They are protectors or leaders who have been promoted to this leadership position. They have the same roles as the leaders and guides, but with these added responsibilities. They also work closely with the protectors and Community Moderators.
Community Moderator was created in tandem with the growing amount of members joining the community. In addition to being protectors, community moderators are there to assist everyone. They help guides, leaders, and protectors with any problems or complaints they may have, and act as a main pipeline to the higher staff. They also help with members' complaints and problems. This position has all but been replaced by the Staff Moderators.
Staff Moderators are a special staff position created to ensure a better staff involvement with in-world issues. They oversee and assist the duties of both the Community Moderators and Supervisors, therefore assisting with the oversight of this branch of volunteers. They also provide a conduit between volunteers/members and higher staff as well as handle any in-world issues that need attention.
The Concept[edit]
Essentially, the "Utherverse" besides being the parent company is namely also the universe or "Metaverse" that engulfs all of the cities that make up the environment. Cities such as Red Light Center, Loki Land and Virtual Vancouver, while both a part of the big picture, are each separate entities connected to each other by "transport centers" linking them together.
In keeping with its suggestion that there should eventually be "millions of worlds, all of them connected, searchable, and customized..." the company claims it will license the use of its software infrastructure to anyone who wishes to create entire worlds on the scale of either of its existing properties, or much larger, on terms of a franchise.[3] The company has recently released the groundwork for this with its Virtual World Web (VWW) option to its service. This enables any member to create a virtual world of their own for personal or business intent.
The Utherverse social center, is comparable to Myspace or Facebook but with less content limitation and with some dating flavor.
Freedom of speech and expression, within the confines of the law, are a key factor to the concept's appeal. There is a rewards system namely an in-world currency, referred to as 'Rays', in memory of Ray Schwartz, the late co-founder of Utherverse, which pays you for browsing profiles, rating pictures, creating and selling clothing etc. This currency and the vast amount of creativity in the Utherverse is also the driving force of the in-world economy.

Study results appear online today (March 14) in Angewandte Chemie. The research will be highlighted on the back cover of an upcoming print issue.
In the lab, Yin and his graduate students Yongxing Hu and Le He initially coated the magnetic iron oxide molecules with a thin layer of silica. Then they applied a magnetic field to assemble the particles into chains. Next, they coated the chains with an additional layer of silica to allow for a silica shell to form around and stabilize the chain structure.
According to the researchers, the timing of magnetic field exposure is critically important to the success of the chain formation because it allows for fine-tuning the "interparticle" spacing the distance between any two particles within photonic chains. They report that the chaining of the magnetic particles needs to be induced by brief exposure to external fields during the silica coating process so that the particles temporarily stay connected, allowing additional silica deposition to then fix the chains into mechanically robust rods or wires.
They also report in the research paper that the interparticle spacing within the chains in a sample can be fine-tuned by adjusting the timing of the magnetic field exposure; the length of the individual chains, which does not affect the color displayed, can be controlled by changing the duration of the magnetic field exposure.
"The photonic nanorods that we developed disperse randomly in solution in the absence of a magnetic field, but align themselves and show diffraction color instantly when an external field is applied," Yin said. "It is the periodic arrangement of

text: Academy Award nominees Bill Murray and Laura Linney star in this comedy-drama from the director of NOTTING HILL. Based on the true story of the famous weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of England visited the President Franklin D Roosevelt at his home in upstate New York, to ask for US help on the eve of WWII. Seen through the eyes of his mistress, it was a weekend that would unite two great nations .... after cocktails of course!

SHOOT THE MOON (director: Alan Parker; screenwriter: Bo Goldman; cinematographer: Michael Seresin; editor: Gerry Hambling; cast: Albert Finney (George Dunlap), Diane Keaton (Faith Dunlap), Karen Allen (Sandy), Peter Weller (Frank Henderson), Dana Hill (Sherry Dunlap), Viveka Davis (Jill Dunlap), Tracey Gold (Marianne Dunlap), Tina Yothers (Molly Dunlap), George Murdock (French DeVoe), Irving Metzman (Howard Katz), Leora Dana (Charlotte DeVoe); Runtime: 124; MPAA Rating: R; producer: Alan Marshall; Warner Home Video; 1982) |
nothing much to the genre of family dramas."
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz Alan Parker ("Bugsy Malone"/"Fame"/"Mississippi
directs this highly-charged
bleak drama of a marriage breakup between an affluent couple. It's best
realized as an actor's pic, with Albert Finney walking away with the
acting honors and Diane Keating giving a richly enervating nuanced
performance. It's written in a superficially sophisticated way by Bo
Goldman, and adds nothing much to the genre of family dramas but a lot
of noise. By the end we witness a lot of messy fighting, but never
learn what makes the main characters act in such a hostile manner. The Dunlaps have been married
for fifteen years, but their marriage is rocky and they now sleep in
separate rooms. George (Albert Finney) is an ambitious successful
writer. His resilient earth-mother suburban wife Faith (Diane Keaton)
is a housewife. The couple
have four daughters (the oldest is the 13-year-old Sherry) and live
together in a converted farmhouse in Marin County, California. An unhappy George begins an affair with
Sandy (Karen
Allen), a divorcee with a small son of her own. Faith follows the lead of hubby and
begins an affair with the young contractor, Frank Henderson (Peter
Weller), building the family tennis court. George
has a problem with his wife's affair, but sees no problem with his
extra-curricular activity. His irrational behavior and violent
outbursts disturb his daughters. The film's key scene is its
opening one, where the couple know the marriage is over but can't end
it in an amicable way. George is getting ready for an International
Book Awards dinner in San
Francisco, in which his wife accompanies him. At the awards banquet, George all but
ignores his wife. Things explode in
the ride home. In the morning, the adulterer is thrown out of the house
with the
bags wifey has already packed. The rest of the film weighs the affects
of the splitup on both George and Faith, and the collateral damage it
causes for the children. The two new partners, Sandy and Frank, must
also weigh in on how the split affects them. We learn little about the
characters inner motivations; we do not even learn what kind of books
George Dunlap writes (Does he
write fiction or non-fiction?). The
astute observations unmasked over this raging mess are too few to
justify having to endure such shrill entertainment. REVIEWED ON 6/11/2011 GRADE: C+ Dennis Schwartz: "Ozus' World Movie Reviews" © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DENNIS SCHWARTZ |

I have had many french press and this one is the best so far. The metal part with the handle adjusts perfectly to the glass, so it does not get loose when you poor the coffee and does not twist either. There is a little circular spring that hold the metal mesh that keeps the coffee at the bottom, and the mesh is doubled, folded? at the edges against the glass, this way the coffee cannot escape and float at the surface like it does on cheapest designs. Plus the appearance is nice you can bring it to an informal table ...
This is an elegant gift. I've been well pleased - handsome looking. I'd buy some more for wedding gifts if they didn't run out !
I have had my French Press for several months now. I love the fact that I can make a fresh cup of coffee and takes only a couple of minutes. The coffee tastes wonderful. The French Press is so easy to clean. Now that I have experienced the French Press 3-cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker, I would never go back to the a regular electric coffee maker again. I also know that I am saving electricity which is a major plus.
This is my first french press and it defiantly makes a difference in how coffee tastes. If you are looking at getting a french press, but not sure buy this one. This is a great starter and has introduced me to the french press and I will probably buy a larger one in the future, but it was worth the price.
This is very nice makes great coffee and is not at all flimsy..the surface under the lid dose not stain and the strainer is easy to clean as well. Great product.
This has been a tremendous addition to our kitchen, something that makes a much nicer cup of coffee than the other methods we've tried (drip, peculator, k-cup reusable, etc). The low price and high-quality construction - stainless steel and glass - made this a no-brainer. Even the filter has held up extremely well over what's been more than 3 months of use. I would definitely recommend this brand and model to any coffee enthusiast.
Very good French Press. Two cups off caffe.
I use this often and I love it.
Press works great. It is my first one so I don't have a lot to go on. Clean up is easy. Not much else to say, I am really happy with it.
I have used this french press every day for months and I love it. I am about to wear it out (no fault of Overstock or the design, I just use it a lot) and I will be buying another one very soon. As always, I love Overstock products and their customer service.
